When dealing with your face and perceptions (your own and those of your surgeon), always try a less invasive method first, before submitting yourself to permanent implants. In your case, you photograph as been very well taken to show the depressed temporal fossa: this occurs with natural aging and, in some instances, after surgery or certain diseases. Whereas a permanent implant should work well, far better to try one of the fillers and make sure you like the result. Most fillers in this area will last around 9 - 12 months. If you simply have familial or premature atrophy of the temporal tissues, further change may also occur over the next few years: worth considering if you are going to contemplate a permanent implant.Good luck!BCK Patel MD, FRCS
Dear jasminaFrom what I can see in your photo, your forehead looks smooth and very natural. I do see your temple area that appears to have volume loss (or has always been more hollow).You have the option of simply using a facial filler to fill your temple to contour. This is done by a relatively simple way, in an office chair, with little discomfort and practically no downtime. Most surgeons will use fillers such as Radiesse or Voluma. (Voluma has the advantage of being reversible)The filler will routinely last more than 12 months. There are surgical implant options but you should consider them only after you have at least tried the injectable fillers once to make sure you like the results.Look for an experienced surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Adding volume either with synthetic filler or natural fat transfer to the temple and lateral cheek area would help to soften the look.
You have temporal hollowing which extends up to the anterior temporal line at the side of the forehead. This can be effectively and permanently augmented with extended anterior temporal implants.
You might first try fillers in the temporal areas. Custom silastic or methylmethacrylate implants could be surgically placed in the depressed areas.
What you have is almost certainly a normal contour of your forehead. Many males, in particular, will have a slight central forehead depression. Usually it is not noticeable. Often in very athletic bodies, it will be more obvious, usually, as you say, in certain light. Almost certainly not...
A two stage process, the first involving expansion of the forehead, could give you what you want without raising the eyebrows. You would have to undergo a 3 to 6 week period of distortion of your forehead which precedes the second and final procedure.
I have never found suture suspension to be long lasting. I have suspended brows with sutures after an endoscopic brow lift as additional support but wouldn't rely on just the sutures. The needles used are like the Reverdin needles used in the past and suspending the brow is...
